💨 Abstract

Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) signalling work started for Kolkata Metro's East-West Metro stretch from Howrah Maidan to Sector V, marking a significant step towards connecting Howrah and Sealdah, two of Eastern Railway's busiest stations. This modern signalling system, which enables automatic train operations and emergency stop features, will save daily commuters around 90 minutes.
